DISH-WARMING ATTACHMENT FOR. RADIATORS.

Application filed July 3,

To all whom it may concern.&

Be it known that I, MARIO LOMBARDI, a. subject of the King of Italy, and residing at Naples, Italy, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Disharming Attachmentfor Radiators, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to. heat radiators and specially to the dish warming attachment for radiators, and has for its object to provide a hot water or air radiator specially adapted for this purpose, in which the heating element, either water or air, circulates into the intermediatespace left between the double walls of the dish warmer as it does into the various units of which the radiating body is composed.

The apparatus forming the object of this invention consists of the following parts or members: the usual group of hollow units into which hot water or air circulates as is known, a metal sheet dish warmer case arranged upon said group of heat radiating units and in. the intermediate space or outer chamber of which the water or air circulates V as well,'and glass or other panels shutting the said warmer box. V

The heat radiator according to this invention is illustrated as an example of construction in the accompanying drawings in which: i

Figure 1 is a front View of the radiator with the dish warmer partly in a vertical sectional view:

Figure 2 is side view of the same, the dish warmer being represented in a vertical cross sectional view: 1

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the dish warmer and Figure 4 shows a glass panel.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional detail showing the means of connecting the warmer to the radiator.

As said above, the radiator according to this invention consists of a plurality of heat radiating units of any convenient type or kind, the end said units, of the group, having particularly are. provided with an enlarged face 2 at the top, and with slightly upwardly protruding internally screw threaded bosses 8, 4 at the corners which are made to effect the junction with similarly internally screw threaded downwardly protruding bosses 5, 6 at the corners of the bottom plate of the dish warmer, the tight junction being made by bosses at the four corners of a warming casing, an inner 1924; Serial no. 724,163.

means of exteriorly screw threaded sleeves U which when tightened hold the adjacent faces of the bosses in close relation to each other.

The warmer is rectangular in shape and is provided inside with corrugated metal sheet walls 7, 8, 9, 10 providing an inner chamber surrounded by the outer walls of the warmer, the first wall, '7, that constitutes the ceiling of the inner chamber, being inwardly curved. The double wall as formed is soldered or otherwise tightly provide for awater or air tight intermediate space. The back wall of the warmer is single, that is, it constitutes the back wall of the chamber while the front side of the chamber is opened and the front wall of the made, in order to warmer is provided witlrglass. or other panelled doors hinged at 31, 32 so that access may be had to the chamber upon the opening of the doors.

lVhen the radiator is mounted and the dish warmer set upon it, the bosses of the latter come into contact with the similar bosses provided on the side units of the radiator and through said bosses exteriorly threaded sleeves, are tightly screwed down by means of convenient keys introduced from the top.

Once the dish warmer is tightly fixed on the radiator and water'allowed to circulate into the latter, said water, passing through the sleeves which join the bosses of the radiator to the dish warmer, will also circulate into the space 16, 17, 18 and 19 surrounding the inner chamber of the said dish warmer, such circulation being facilitated by the shape of the inner ceiling 7 of the dish warmer, so that the heat of the water or air will keep dishes, plates or like things put into the warmer chamber warm, these utensils resting on the bottom plate 8 of the chamber, which plate is so adjusted as to afford a quite level stand on the top plane of the crests gated sheet. 7

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:

l. A device of the character described including in combination, a radiatorcomposed of a plurality of units, internally threaded the radiator, chamber supported in spaced relation to the top and botof the undulations of the corrutom of the end walls of the chamber so as to leave a space through which a heating medium may circulate, interiorly threaded bosses projecting downwardly from the upper surface at the four corners of the warmer for engagement with the bosses on the end units of the radiator, exteriorly threaded nipples engaged with the registering boss for establishing communication between the end heating units and the space next the chamber within the warmer and for rigidly fastening the casing in position on the radiator, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. In an arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the side, top and bottom walls of the chamber are corrugated and wherein doors are provided on the front wall of the warmer so that access can be had to the chamber.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

MARIO LOMBARDI.
